Banner Presentation, n. S. G. w.

Last Friday evening being the regular
meeting night OF CORTLAND Parlor No. LOG,
n. S. G. W.. and being the last meeting of
the Parlor before the Admission Day cele-
bration at Napa, the members thereof were
treated to genuine surprise in the presen-
tation to them of very elegant banner
At about the time of adjournment of the
Parlor an unusual noise was heard to en-
anate from the waiting-room, adjoining the
meeting-room, and the officers of the Parlor
going out to ascertain the cause of trouble
it was discovered that Mrs. Senator John
ston, of Richland, her daughters, Miss
Matte and Miss Bell, and Mrs. William
Johnston, Jr., reinforced by several ladies
and native daughters, were in waiting and
desired admittance TO the Parior. Tie
genial President Fred B. Houston, to ac-
commodate the ladies, declared recess,
and then was the occurrence of the event of
the evening. Miss Matte Johnston stepped
forward with others of the ladies, and the
banner was presented to the President of
the Parlor. The banner is in size about
four by five and a half feet, made of heavy
white silk. The front of the banner has at
the top cape OF royal purple plush, in
| which is worked in gold bullion the words
CORTLAND Parlor No. 1906" beneath
which IS a painting, perfect in de-
Sign III punt Vi
of the great seal of the State of California.
On the bottom of the front appears two of
the emblems of the organization, the bear
and American flags crossed. On the re-
verse side of the banner is seen painting
of "Old Bruin" standing defantly on the
| bank of stream of water in clump of
sycamore trees On the top of this side of
| the banner is a cape of rich crimson silk
showing date of installation of the Parlor-
Instituted June TO- 1887" The banner is
heavily draped with gold bullion and fringe.
From the eleven corners of the capes and
banner are hung tassels of very heavy bull
ion, the heads of which are set with
precious stones. The banner is fastened to
| a walnut pole by a rod of silver, which con-
| meets with the banner proper by coin silver
rings. At either end of this rod are gilt
heads of the bear, the emblem of the Order
| On top of the pole is perched golden eagle
with wings extended. The banner as an
entirety is one of the most beautiful in the
| organization and will be carried with pride
| by the young gentlemen of the Parlor at
| Napa ON next Friday. On the pole is
shield of silver inscribed as follows: Pre-
sented to CORTLAND Parlor, No. JOG, n. S.
CIV, September , 1887, by Native Daugh-
| tiers of Courtland, CAL The members of
| the Parlor are loud in their praise Of their
gift, and many were the pleasant words
| said to Miss Matte Johnston, her mother
and sister, for the kindly interest taken in
| the welfare of the Parlor

free from friction when they arrive, for
they are only to remain but day. 1t is
learned that special efforts are being made
to stimulate all exhibitors to place their
exhibits completely prior to the opening
of the fair, and probably there will be a
better first day than for many years. II,
at this time, all exhibitors were notified
by pest of the great desirability of having
the fair completed by Monday evening
rext, there would be 20 few laggards as to
make no material difference. Certainly it
5 worth the cost of the notice TO give it,
and may result in the demonstration Of
the possibility of opening a fair in reality
on the first day. At any rate, it is now
known that the second day win find the
fair complete in all respects; but We be
lieve It can be very nearly SO on the first
day. Exhibitors ought to second all effert:
to eaat end, and We trust that not one o.
than will act upon the erroneous idea
that as to placing hts exhibit there is NJ
need for haste.

WHY NOT THE FIRST pay1

It has been said that no great fair ever
really opened on its first day. But is there
defensible reason for it? When it is give,
that on a certain day the State Fair for

THE LATEST ATTEMPTED BOYCOTT.

The hight OF impudence, not to use a
harsher term, was reached when walking
delegate Of the knights of Labor called
upon Geo. W. Halsey, President of the
Newark IN. j. Leather Manufacturers
Association. That business organization,
for reasons that seemed proper to it, re-
fused to employ Knights Of Labor. With
that We have nothing TO do in this consid-
Grafton. But Mr.. Halsey is a prominent
Republican, and the General Executive
Board of the Knights resolved to boycott
him IN politics. Accordingly they sent a
walking delegate to him with circular
letter, and threat 10 send it to every
District Assembly in the United States
unless the Association would yield the
point at issue between it and the Order.
The circular called on all Knights to boy
colt the party on Mr.. Halsey's account
That gentleman replied with spirit that
his politics and his business bore no rela-
ton to each other, and that he would be
swayed IN no manner by the threat made.
1t so happens that many Knights of Labor
are Republicans. Rcpublicanism is the
political faith of their convictions. and
very naturally they resent the attempt to
blackmail men through their attachment
to the party Of their choice. These pro-
tested in very emphatic manner. This
attempt to make the Republican party re-
sponsible for the action of one of its mem
bers in the ordinary course of his business
IS tyrannous. The resort to such desperate
means Is 4 confession of weakness on the
part of the Knights. To preserve seem
ng of consistency the Order should pro-
coed to boycott the Democratic party also.
since as many Democrats as Republicans,
In private business, have refused to obey
the dictation of the Knights as to whom
they should employ. The attempt upon
Halsey will have very different effect
from that contemplated. 1t will tend to
strengthen the party and to weaken the
order, and even if the circular is not sent
out, now that its contents are known the
knights will achieve nothing bat dishonor
lin the matter.

A NEW IRA OF DEVELOPMENT.

In our advertising columns We present
the prospectus Of land scheme inaugr-
rated practically by the Southern Pacific
Company The Cepay Valley Land Com
pany, corporation composed chiefly of the
President, Directors and chiefofiicers of thai
company, proposes to place { large body 9;
the NEST fertileand productive land of tie
State on the market, with the distinct -e-
striction of limiting the ownership of the
Subdivisions 70 single individuals. THE
plan embraces the idea of establishing
communities the prosperity of which is to
be based'en small holdings of very fertile
land. This is precisely the reverse Of
what has heretofore happened in Califor-
MIA. The agricultural system of the State
has been based on large holdings, and
sparsisy of popu lation and tardiness of
growth have been tae result. A road is
being constructed from Madison, in Yolo
county, through one of the most beautiful
and fertile valleys of the State, snd in this
valley the railroad proprietors have pur-
chased some ten thousand acres of land.
Ike owners of this land being also the
prcprietors of the railroad, propose to join
the transportation interest with produc-
ten IN such way as todevelop community
lie upon the basis Of only 50 much acreage
as Is necessary to the employment of
the industry of a single agricultural
holder. This movement is some
thing quite distinct and apart from
a " boom" movement 1t marks an era
OF substantial progress in direction which
has long since been recognized and felt in
California. 1t is in fact a proposition to
wrest from the hands of land monopolists
and spectators large area of very fertile
land lying under the most favorable posi-
bic climatic conditions, and by subdivision
OF this land and restriction as to the own
ershiP of more than single subdivision by
a single individual. establish and promote
true rural community life With a home
and family upon each ten acres or twenty
acres of this large subdivision OF country,
all the social features desirable in village
or city life may be maintained, and all the
advantages of rural life may be enjoyed.
We believe the success of such an under
taking to be entirely assured. Properly
cultivated. ten or twenty acres nav be
made to yield return equal to that here
tofore received from 800 acres of land cul-
tivated according to the wasteful and SLOW
emily methods unfortunately so character
istic of California agriculture. There are
hundreds of families comprising within
themselves sufficient productive capacity
to develop The full productive power of a
small holding. Community life upon this
new and better basis will solve for itself
the labor problem. The whole plan is a
fair challenge to the thrift and industry of
our people, and as it is inaugurated under
high auspices, associated directly with the
transportation interest, and located under
highly favoring circumstance, we can con-
hdently predict for it the highest success.

The Veteran Firemens Association are
going to San Francisco in the early part
of September, and if they don't paint large
sized vermilion streak from seaboard to
seaboard and come back laden with 5000
miles of glory and enthusiasm it will be be-
cause all present signs have ANONYMOUSLY
failed to carry out their promise.
The boys start resplendent They have
been getting up a new uniform which is of
color and cat that would have made the
elder Weller turn green with envy. 1t is
what Sam Weller would have characterized
as bby-daZzler," and Mr.. Pickwick
himself never took half the pride in the
club garments which he himself got up as
do the veteran fire-laddies. whose uniforms
will be first exposed to public admiration
on Monday, September 9Th, when the asso-
citation will march down Broadway on the
way to San Francisco. The cloth is a
coaching drab, made expressly for the vets;
the trousers are perfectly plain, and the
coat is provided with capacious tails" and
pockets larger than those affected by
Colonel de Lancey Kane when he first re-
yiyed coaching and handled the reins of
the tally-ho. Large, flat, pearl buttons
form only ornate feature OF the garment.
which will be supplemented with particu-
larly red shirt, drab buckskin gloves and
black silk tie. The black parade hat will
complete the costume.
THE PARADE.
The parade will be headed by Cappa's
Band of fifty, which will accompany the
excursioniSts during their twenty-seyen
days trip.
OF course President George w. Anderson
will boss the job, and see that the various
committees keep steady stream from the
nozzle oil hospitality upon the blaze of en-
thusiaSm. Mr.. Anderson is a fireman from
way back.
The old boys will man the rope of their
double-decker, which weighs 1900 pounds,
and was built in Philadelphia in 1885 at
cost of 81 per pound. This machine is
handsomely decorated and silyerplated, the
gallery being surmounted by nickel
plated canopy, upon the pinnacle of which
IS gilded eagle. in whose beak there
shines at night an electric light.
In order to transport this interesting relic
across the continent baggage car has been
altered by removing one end, so that the
machine can be run in endwise. On either
side OF the baggage-car will be closets for
uniforms. The train will consist of Pull
man cars entirely, except the baggage-car
mentioned. There will be three sleepers,
three hotel sleepers and two dinipg-cars.
